An App Engine app is configured using an app.yaml
file, that contains CPU, memory, network and disk resources, scaling, and other
general settings including environment variables.
About app.yaml
files
You can specify the runtime configuration for your PHP app,
including versions and URLs, in the app.yaml
file. This file acts as a deployment descriptor of a specific
service
version.
You must first create the app.yaml
file for the default
service of your app
before you can create and deploy app.yaml
files for additional services.
The following app.yaml
demonstrates how to configure your app to use the latest
PHP version. To use any other supported version of PHP,
you must update your app.yaml
file. For more information, see
PHP runtime.
runtime: php
env: flex
runtime_config:
operating_system: "ubuntu22"
document_root: .
app.yaml
file. The following example
demonstrates what a simple PHP app might require in the
flexible environment:
You can specify a unique name for your app.yaml
files, but then you must
specify the file name with the deployment
command
as well. For example, if you name your app.yaml
file service-name-app.yaml
or app.flexible.yaml
, then you must deploy your app using either:
gcloud app deploy service-name-app.yaml
gcloud app deploy app.flexible.yaml
app.yaml
files in your
app, see Structuring web services.
